Just days after Kid Rock announced he’s considering running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, Caitlyn Jenner revealed Sunday that she’s considering making a run for Capitol Hill as well.

“I have considered it. I like the political side of it,” Jenner told radio host John Catsimatidis on AM 970 in New York. “Over the next six months or so, I gotta find out where I can do a better job. Can I do a better job from the outside? Kind of working the perimeter of the political scene, being open to talking to anybody? Or are you better from the inside?”

She continued, “We are in the process of determining that… but I would look for a senatorial run.”
